Hi all 
I'm currently a Year 11 student living in Putney, London. My exams are finishing soon and my school has suggested that we do work experience (most likely next month but can be whenever until September). I was originally set to do Work Experience with London Tramlink (First Group Tram Operations) however that got cancelled due to Covid and them having many vulnerable staff working there. I was wondering whether companies are now willing to do work experience once the May or June restrictions ease? I've been reading a bit about GWR, however I don't know whether it would be better to contact them online or visit them in person at a station (probably Paddington)? What other rail or bus companies are known for doing work experience (anywhere in or near London)? (Not Abellio London & Go Ahead London as they have told me they don't offer a public scheme (most likely only for family of employees)) I've read that GTR do, however they don't have any listings on their careers page.
Thanks,
